"I'm sorry, but, I think it would be better if we stayed as friends"
Now usually those words would feel as if knives had just been plunged into your heart and then had lemon juice poured over the open wound. But to Nagisa…it…it just felt right, as if this was supposed to happen, as if those words had just been the missing piece to her life puzzle.
Nagisa smiled brightly and looked up to her boyfr-ex…ex-boyfriend and spoke softly "It's alright Gakushuu-kun, I understand". And truthfully, she did, I mean Nagisa's grades weren't the best, that's why she's in D-Class, Nagisa was just happy that he gave her a chance. "We will still be friends right Ga-umm, Asano-kun?"
Hands clenched Asano winced at the sudden change in his name and stood there will a pained expression...he loved her, but his father didn't see her as a good partner as her grades were average. Damn, he would feel so much better if she just hit him, screamed at him, or threw her anger at him. But she was Nagisa, she was too sweet and innocent for that.
"yeah" Asano faked a smile "Yeah, we can still be friends" His heart hurt so much, were breakups supposed to feel like this? He needed to get away before he broke down completely. "Well, I need to go and study for the upcoming math exam in A-Class so I'll see you later Nagisa" A soft bye was heard but he didn't turn around.
It hurt, and he didn't even have the guts to go back into formalities like she did. This is what he never understood but always loved about her. She could adapt to any situation and be strong, even when he couldn't.
Nagisa stood there for a while watching Asano's figure disappear into the distance. Now she wasn't heartless, she did love Asano, but with loving Asano came a price. You had to be able to fit up to his father's expectations which, aside from Asano, was near impossible. That's why she felt like a weight had been lifted, the heavy burden from the principle has now been lifted, at the price of Asano leaving…Okay, now she was feeling the heartache, she needed something to take her mind off this.
Nagisa started to aimlessly wander around the city looking for some sort of distraction to take her mind off Asano and the whole breakup ordeal. And that's when she saw it.
Sonic Ninja out NOW!- More information inside
Nagisa was in the store in less than 30 seconds' max, racing through the isle, her long baby blue hair soring behind her until she came to an abrupt stop at her required destination. Now Nagisa wasn't a crazy fan of comics but sonic ninja had been her favourite comic of all time, and now they're coming out with a movie on it? God must really be on her side.
She quickly flipped open the magazine and to check the dates and price, and as it turns out Sonic Ninja has been released for 3 days already. Now she was excited. Since its been released for quite some time it means the que to the cinema won't be as big and maybe the ticket price would have gone down.
She would make sure to check it out later, now who could she take? None of her friends were really into this sort of thing as they preferred to study then watch films or "slack off", maybe that's why Asano left her…Nope! She wasn't going to think about that, not now. She slightly glanced to the comic book section where her favourite comic stood proudly above the rest.
Now, she should go home and study so she could remain a spot in the best high school around Kunugigaoka junior high school, or…she could reread the comic that was giving her lustful glances. That cheeky thing…One look won't hurt.
Around 30 minutes later Nagisa had reread the comic around twenty times and has just about memorised the words until "Whoa, no way! Nazzoni directed Sonic Ninja? How cools that?!" As the voice spoke Nagisa calmly glanced at the owner of the voice, well, that's what she says. Instead she jumped about a foot in the air and let out a small, startled scream.
But the said person continued "Ooh, and its already out? Let's go Shiota!" Nagisa, still in shock, looks at the strange boy who was a few feet taller than her with bright red hair and a carefree attitude. He was wearing a white buttoned up top with black pants to go with it. So overall…he looked like trouble. But Nagisa knew him, she just didn't realise he knew her.
Breaking away from her shocked phase, Nagisa shock her head and smiled at the taller boy "Sure Akabane-kun, I'm sure it will be fun!" Before Nagisa was excited, but now she was absolutely ecstatic! Not only was Akabane Karma one of the smartest in the school (he even rivalled Asano!) but he was also one of the most popular boys as well! So, why does he want to spend time with her?
Before she could think more about it Karma had already started to speak "Just call me Karma, I'm not too bothered about formalities and stuff. So, you ready to go?"
Once again, Nagisa's face lit up as she smiled at him "Okay, but you must drop the formalities too, just call me Nagisa. So let's go, Karma-kun!" Before Karma had a chance to speak Nagisa had already replaced the comic book and started to drag him out of the store and towards the cinema. Laughing, Karma started to jog alongside Nagisa since he didn't need to run to keep up with her "Hey, Nagisa-chan, last one there has to buy the popcorn!".
As those words were spoken Nagisa sprinted as fast as she could, while Karma ran (he had to give her a chance) towards the cinema. Needless to say, Karma enjoyed eating his free tub of popcorn while Nagisa sat down and tried to catch her breath.

(Karma's POV)
Coming out of the cinema Nagisa was still hyped over the film and couldn't stop talking about it, which just made her look like a cute 5-year-old. "But did you see how awesome it was when the base just exploded and the flames over took the entire screen? That looked so realistic! Can you believe they might make another one?! Oh Karma-kun we should go see that one too!"
Her smiled hadn't left her ace since I encountered her in the comic store, and if I'm being truthful to myself, she was cute and had a nice personality. Don't get me wrong, I know she's Asano-kun's girlfriend, but he always looked so happy when he was with her, and now I understand why.
"Karma-Kun!" Nagisa calling me snapped me out of my train of thought. I casually glanced up and gave her a look to say I was listening so she could continue. "I said its getting kind of late so I have to start heading home. But, is it alright if we hang out again? I really enjoyed myself tonight and I'd like to do it again sometime" Oh god she was adorable.
"Hmm" I paused thinking about her current boyfriend "Sure, I had fun too. Just make sure your boyfriend doesn't get too jealous now okay?" I replied jokingly only to glance at her face and realise that maybe it wasn't the best idea to mention Asano.
"It will be fine" Nagisa quietly said "We broke off our relationship earlier today, kind of forgot about it until now" Nagisa nervously chuckled, but before I could speak she continued "Its fine though, we are still friends so it's nothing to worry about".
Nagisa once again smiled at me. I had been looking at her smiles all day that I hadn't realised how much it would hurt me when she fakes her smiles at me. "I won't ask about it, but just to let you know, I can tell a real smile and a fake smile from a mile off. Plus, you look more beautiful when you be yourself".
I slightly laughed at her baffled expression but before she could comment on what I just said, I simply started walking with only one destination in mind. "Didn't you say it was getting late Nagisa-chan? Wouldn't want your folks to worry now huh?" Realisation edged its way onto her face as she realised I was right. "Come on, I'll walk you home".
As I walked her home we talked about everything and nothing but as we got closer to her house, the more and more lifeless she became. Something wasn't right, but before I could question it we appeared at the front of her house.
"Thanks for walking me home Karma-kun, and going to the cinema with me, I had a lot of fun" Nagisa said once again smiling at me. Honestly, I've never seen someone smile so much. But maybe that's why I like her.
I reached my hand out and ruffled her hair, pretending not to see her flinch. "Don't worry about it, wouldn't want a young girl walking alone at night, now would we?" We both laughed before she bid me farewell and walked into her house. I stood there a little longer after she went inside because something just felt…off.
Shaking my head I turned around and headed back home. Maybe I'll ask her about it tomorrow.

(Nagisa's POV)
I tried.
I tried to be silent when entering the house, but I guess mother always hears everything.
Before I could utter out a "I'm home", I had already been knocked off my feet from her kicking me straight in my stomach. I fell straight to the floor and instinctively curled into a ball hoping to disappear, but the kicking and screaming continued.
"DO YOU KNOW HOW LATE IT IS?! AND WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR GRADES YOUNG LADY, D-CLASS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE, IT SHOULD BE B-CLASS MINIMUM! DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD I WORK FOR BOTH OF US? HOW MUCH PAIN AND EFFORT IT IS TO PUT DINNER ON THE TABLE EVER DAY AND NIGHT! HUH?! DO YOU?!"
This continued for about 10 minutes till she finally grabbed me by my hair and threw me onto the couch. My body was starting to go numb, but it wasn't that bad, since I was just getting used to it by now. And I knew she only did this because she cared for me, I mean, who would be angry and a selfish, dumb, and ugly daughter?
Mother then came and sat down on the opposite couch looking at me calmly and concealing all of her emotions. "Nagisa why were you out so late? Did you have a date with Asano? I told him when you should be home by."
I took deep breaths before answering her question. When she's like this almost every answer is the wrong one. "Me and Asano broke up." Uh oh, her eyes flashed with bloodlust. Definitely the wrong answer. I quickly continued before she could make assumptions "but then Akabane Karma-kun invited me to the movies with him and then walked me home. I am truly, and deeply sorry for staying out past curfew mother.
As I bowed I expected a sharp pain to fill my head, however as I glanced up, I saw mother look…shocked? "Did…did you say Akabane?" She quietly spoke.
"Umm, y-yeah" I was terrified, I couldn't read her mod which meant she could either laugh it off, shout and kick me, or burn me. I was praying it would be the first. Or, so I thought.
Her shocked expression instantly turned into a joyful one as she got up and hugged me. I instantly knew something wasn't right as she never did this. "Oh, my Nagisa-chan! The Akabanes are one of the most wealthiest families who live in the area! Could you imagine what would what happen if you started dating, or got married?!".
I drained my face of all my emotions and let her ramble on about how we could become rich and wealthy if I stayed with Karma. I hated this. Karma was a nice guy who I wanted to continue hanging out with, but I don't want him for the money.
She eventually let go of me so she could take a call from one of her supervisors, and I carefully headed upstairs, trying not to worsen the bruises. Karma would hate me if he found out mothers' intentions.
Shaking my head I took a quick shower to rid myself of any unpleasant thoughts, and also to check how badly I was bruised. Once I had finished cleaning myself I got into my nightwear and went straight to sleep, wondering how I was going to face both Karma and Asano tomorrow.
